NORTH PENN ACCESS maintains a help desk to address its customers' connectivity issues. This desk can be very busy at times. In the event that we are busy with other customers when you call, a voice mail system is in place so that you may leave a message. Repeated redialing in order to 'speak to a live body' will only move you to the bottom of the queue. Please do not leave messages of a general technical support nature on an employee's private extension. That person is the only one who can access their voice mail messages and if he or she is out for the day or on vacation, you could have a long wait for a response. We realize that many people are not at their best when things are not going well. A calm explanation of the problem at hand is usually the quickest path to a solution. We are here to help you. Abusive messages left in our voice mail or abusive conduct when speaking to a NORTH PENN ACCESS help desk technician MAY result in a termination of service. 18. NORTH PENN ACCESS does not warrant or promise that any of our access numbers are local to you. In particular, we urge you to note that even an access number that shares your area code or appears to be located in your general geographic region may not necessarily be a local number to you. Substantial toll telephone charges may apply to numbers that you do not verify as local to your individual area or calling plan. Your local telephone company can tell you whether any of your access numbers are in fact local to you. We urge you to check with your local telephone company before selecting an access number. 19. The terms and conditions contained herein supersede all previous representations, understandings or agreements and shall supersede any other terms and conditions of any order submitted or prior price quoted. 20. This agreement is made under and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of, the State of Pennsylvania applicable to agreements made and performed in Pennsylvania. Any cause of action of Customer or its designated users with respect to the Service must be instituted within one year after the claim or cause of action has arisen or it will be barred. 21.

NORTH PENN ACCESS holds the right to manage any network abuse appropriately. 23.
